One of the biggest rivalries in the Premier League era is back as in form Manchester United will be welcoming Chelsea to the Old Trafford on Saturday, in a bid to beat the Blues in 3 straight games.

In 56 Premier League meetings between these two teams, Manchester United have won 17 games, while Chelsea have won 18 matches, while the other 21 games have ended in a draw. The Red Devils have won 3 of their last 5 matches.

Man United captain, Harry Maguire is a doubt after missing the UCL win away to PSG in midweek due to injury, while it is unclear whether Mason Greenwood will be available after missing United's last two games. Chelsea, on the other hand, have only one injury concern, young Billy Gilmour. Every other player is available to play.

Man Utd are looking to win three consecutive Premier League meetings with Chelsea for the first time. Since the start of last season, Chelsea have conceded a competition-high of 42 goals away from home in that period, and at this rate, it looks like that run will continue.

Both teams are coming into this clash in good form, scoring 4 goals in their last league match, but the Parisiens are the favourites, as they have two of the best attackers in Kylian Mbappe and Neymar. The Red Devils will put up a good fight, but the hot team should edge it.

Winner of the 2019/2020 Europa League winner Sevilla will try their luck again in the Champions League and will be starting with a trip to England to play Chelsea at the Samford Bridge.
